Is John Lennon’s ‘Imagine’ the worst song of all time?
New York Post ^ | October 28, 2016 | Hardeep Phull

Posted on 10/28/2016 12:12:53 PM PDT by sparklite2

“Dear Twitter,” he posted. “What is the song you most detest and despise? Thank you.”

Within 48 hours, the bemused Brit, who had only around 1,000 Twitter followers, had received several thousand nominations from all over the world, and Lennon’s ballad was a repeat offender.

“I think it’s the whole idea of talking about poverty and misery, while John was actually hanging around in his palatial New York townhouse,” Carter tells The Post. “It’s the duplicity of the whole thing.”

Imagine, a hideous song, trying to make atheism sound pretty and inviting. Reprehensible.

It is up there, but I can think of worse:

Billy don’t be a hero
Seasons in the Sun
Wildfire

If you don’t know these, consider yourself lucky!

Imagine: Remembering John Lennon's Communist Anthem

Free Republic ^ | 3/12/2015 | Jan Sobieski

Lest we forget the damage done to the moral fabric of our nation by Satan's minstrels, here are the lyrics to "Imagine" by John Lennon. A song still prominently played at most major venues and poignant to all but those who actually understand its horrifying "fundamentally transformed" implications...

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky

Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too

Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you will join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You, you may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you will join us
And the world will live as one

I hate how liberals will play that stupid song (Imagine) at funerals or other solemn occasions as if it’s a secular hymn.

Led Zeppelin — Stairway to Heaven

Most badly copied maybe, but the original is a masterpiece.

FWIW, I rarely listen to lyrics.

What about Don McLean’s “American Pie”?

There are a hell of a lot worse songs than that that have come and gone over the years. That was actually pretty good, IMO, as was damn near was everything back then, at least when compared to the absolute garbage that has come out since that approximate time.

John Travolta - “Gonna let her in my life”. That actually made it on to the charts. No, really. And it was as bad as you are thinking.

The reason Imagine is so dangerous is because it is hypnotic.

It was designed that way in order to drum the Marxist ideals into young people's minds.

Ok, I found Baker Street, because he was listed under G, and not R.

I originally loved Baker Street - in 1978.

By its millionth radio playing in 1979, I was ready to hunt the band down with a tank.
